Downloaded and installed!
A huge thank you bud Cool

The install went smooth as silk via CUPS printer wizard and the print is clear and sharp.

Is it possible to have the option of increasing the resolution beyond 600dpi?
Its looking really good for text documents and most other jobs but it'd be nice to up the quality for photos etc.
Once again many thanks.

Ive found the .ppd file but I have no idea how to change the options to include higher res Sad

Amedment:

*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 1200/1200 dpi: "<</HWResolution[1200 1200]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 2400/2400 dpi: "<</HWResolution[2400 2400]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution

Is this code from here and the German link? Make a backup copy of the PPD file and try it.

Are you claiming that you can tell the difference between 600 DPI and 1200 DPI? Wink

TBH i tried 2400 dpi and the colour was more intensive than the same file printed at 600dpi

Thanks rcrsn51!

I know someone else mentioned it earlier but it was a great idea to link this thread to the CUPS wizard. I was able to download your pet in order to wirelessly connect to my password protected Windows Vista machine which has our printer connected to it via USB. I can now print from my Netbook using Slacko 5.33.

Hello, I am using slacko puppy 5.3.3 and I have a canon ip2600 printer.
Is it possible to create a .pet file to install this printer on my system.

Thank you

hi rcrsn51,

just installed Slacko 5.3.7.1 (5.4 beta 4). Try to install my new HP Photomart 6510, and it is not listed in CUPS 1.4.8 (supplied with Slacko 5.4).
Have not been able to find a PPD file for it, and the hplib that contains a driver for this printer has no Slackware version (but has Debian and Ubuntu).

How can I proceed ?

It is a network printer (via WIFI) and it is detected by CUPS 1.4.8.

Regards,

Harm

The hplip_print-3.12.10a.pet posted on Page 1 of this thread supports your Photosmart 6510. Have you tried it yet?

Dear rcrsn51,

Thanks for the tip. Didn't read the first post carefully enough. Installed the PET, and now I can print. Thanks......

regards,

Volhout

Hello,
I'm new to Puppy, Installed yesterday my Lexmark S315 on Puppy using the driver you indicated.
(as Lexmark PPD file is not working).

The Wifi printer was indeed detected with no pbs.

sending the test page to Printer prints only one page with odd caracters on top --> Driver obviously not propre for my printer.

Do you have any ideas of alternative drivers I could use?
is Puppy a debian based linux or redhat?

Thx a lot and sorry in advance for the hassle.

Cheers from Paris France

François
